“India will soon establish a defence wing at its High Commission in Suva, as part of a major step to bolster defence and security ties with Fiji.”
“The defence wing will be headed by a dedicated defence attaché who will also cover wider Pacific Island nations, further cementing Fiji’s status as a strategic partner for India in the Indo-Pacific.”
“India has also committed to strengthening Fiji’s maritime security, offering training, equipment, and cybersecurity assistance, including the establishment of a cybersecurity training cell in Fiji.”
